I doubt its the problem but try adding a space before and after the = sign also

you know on an uploaed file you have access to three vars automatically one is

$uploadfile_name //which is the name of the file
$uploadfile_type //which is the type of file
$uploadfile_size //which is the size.

It seems to me you are causing a lot of extra work for yourslef and the user. I suspect you were tryingt o echo $uploadfile and you were getting the name assigned by tyhe system and that is why you are having the userf ill out extra inforamtion

Please don't PM me with questions.
Use the forums, that is what they are here for.

I don't understand the part about the file uploading, but I am sure that the lack of space around the equals signs cannot be the problem - I've used that format the whole time I've done any kind of work with PHP/SQL...
